Half day introductory seminar focused on what creates disruptive opportunities.

If you've already got a grounding in the basics of disruption theory, you're ready for the next step which is gaining an understanding of the causal factors and how they interrelate to make industries or businesses ripe for disruption. This seminar discusses each of the four conditions which must be present for disruption to occur, and how to apply this knowledge to identify where disruption is likely to come from and why. Innovative Disruption has developed unique expertise in this area, and will provide you with insights you can't get anywhere else -- insights that are essential to identifying real threats and opportunities and for predicting where the disruptor you haven't yet heard of is likely to come from.
